Michelle Sloan

Michelle lives in Broughty Ferry, Dundee with her family and three rescue dogs! Her first picture book, The Fourth Bonniest Baby in Dundee was published in July 2016 (Picture Kelpies).

Michelle trained as a Primary Teacher and worked for many years in Edinburgh, before indulging her love of all things theatrical by returning to university to study Drama. After dabbling in performance art in Glasgow, and starring in a one woman show in Edinburgh, Michelle finally settled on a specialty in Arts Journalism and developed a new, unknown passion for writing! After a few reviews for ‘The List’ magazine, she turned to scribbling creatively.

In 2018, The Fourth Bonniest Baby in Dundee was shortlisted for the Scottish Book Trust Bookbug Picture Book of the year and was included in the ‘Bookbug bag’ for every Primary 1 child in Scotland
